Title: more testing
Post by: TrkyHntr on February 23, 2011, 10:17:12 PM
Going out this weekend to do some more testing with my 870 20ga. Going to run some more Fed HW #7's and #6's through the hastings .562. A friend of mine is coming along too. We will be testing H-13 #6's and #7's, 20ga magnum blends, and some 4x5x7 nitros. I've also got a truglo GSX .565 to try and my buddy has a jellyhead .570 and suppose to have a puregold tempest .555 here by friday. We shall see what these little 20's will do.

My friend called me today and told me he tried one of the 4x5x7 nitro's today. He said he just couldn't wait until this weekend. He's shooting a rem 870 with a 26" barrel. Shooting through the jellyhead .570. At 40yds he put 204 in a 12" circle.
